Summer is in full swing, and we hope your July
Fourth weekend is filled with sparklers, fireworks, picnics, and maybe even a
day at the beach!
As
a special treat, here is one of our favorite Fourth of July recipes that kids
will be sure to love!
July 4th Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Ingredients:
12 large strawberries
4 ounces of white chocolate
1/4 cup blue sprinkles
Instructions:
- Cover
a cookie sheet with parchment paper and pour blue sprinkles into a small bowl;
set aside.
- Melt
white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for only 30 seconds at a time
and stir in between to avoid burning. The chocolate is ready when it is melted
and smooth.
- Hold
strawberry by the stem and carefully dip about 2/3 into chocolate. Make sure to
leave a portion of the red strawberry visible near the stem.
- Right
after covering the strawberry with white chocolate, dip the fruit halfway into
the blue sprinkles so that blue, white, and red are all still visible on the
strawberry.
- Place
strawberries 1-2 inches apart on the parchment paper and refrigerate until
chocolate is set.
- Enjoy!
